If you are planning on this then make sure that this UPS has single 12V battery. Thus it's efficiency is low compared to 1100VA model UPS.

Ohh okay. You are right. Sorry my bad. I think they revised the product data sheet. I have the same model with 1 battery. I checked their datasheet now and it shows 24V at this time.
Thanks for letting me know.
Can you please confirm? APC datasheet shows 24V 7Ah battery but doesn't say it has two

The user manual that came with the UPS says it has 2 batteries.

It might have 2 x 12V 7Ah batteries in Series. As I have seen in many UPS. I currently have total 3 UPS. All of 3 has same configuration. 12V 7Ah x 2 = 24V 7Ah bettery.

Did you get a chance to test the amount of wattage it is able to handle? they claim it can support up to 900W but I highly doubt that..
It's 2x 12V batteries. Not 24v. There's typo in the manual.
Yeah, why not? If it says 900W, it'll be able to handle that sustainably. It should be handle more than 900W too but for a short amount of time.

Not tested with 900W, but somewhere around 600W.
One thing to note is that this UPS is *very* noisy, even when it is running on AC power. So unless someone really needs the 1600VA capacity, I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for the info!
I have a 5800x + rtx 3070 setup so thinking to get this one..
My old UPS the BR1100-CI model was also noisy due to its cooling fan. Its a real PITA but over the years managed to live with it.
